Bug#866120: diffoscope: please add an xml comparator

Hi Juliana,

In general we try never to have any failing tests in diffoscope, so none
should ever be "naturally" failing. :)

> Then I focused on getting to work at least the one test I was writing

Can completely understand that.  As it happens, your change also causes
the APK tests to fail — would you like to work on fixing that? You can
see an output here:

  https://jenkins.debian.net/job/reproducible_diffoscope_from_git_master/301/

JFTR you can run parts of the testsuite with:

  $ PYTHONPATH=. pytest-3 tests/comparators/test_apk.py
